"What is the NBA coming to?": Josh Giddey alleged video with minor sparks disbelief online

Fans took to social media in disbelief after a video emerged alleging that Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder is in a relationship with a minor.

An X user shared a video of Giddey with a girl named Liv Cook. In one video, the Australian guard can be seen wrapping his arms around her. A picture, seemingly from Snapchat, showed Giddey with his arms wrapped around her neck.

Fans on social media immediately began speculating about the matter, with many alleging that the girl in the video isn't of legal age.

"Josh Giddey from the OKC thunder with an under-age girl. First video he is talking to her brother. This is Disgusting and this man needs to be punished. We can’t let this go under the surface any longer. This needs to be seen. Girl is a junior in high school," a post on X said.

"bout to head back to mine" is f**king wild 😭 😭"

"The NBA just would let it slide and it's disgusting..."

There hasn't been any statement from the Thunder management and Giddey has remained silent since the alleged video emerged.
